In the Glass

Appearance

Brilliant, crystal clear.

Aromatics

On the nose you are immediately struck by the purity of the mango and then the supporting notes of citrus and green melon complete the package.

Flavor

The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering an attractive and dense mango core with flanking notes of orange zest and a cool note redolent of green melon.

Intensity & Texture

Medium-bodied with a silky fruit core that's balanced by a healthy dose of vibrant acidity.

Cool Factor

Van Gogh is simply best as no other brand can offer a collection of flavors that surpasses their signature flavored Vodkas.

Value Grade

B+

Sold in the middle $20 range it sits on par with the quality flavored Vodkas on offer while being a cut above the crowd.

Analysis

The Van Gogh Mango is as good, or possibly better, as ever before. The bright tropical flavors bring a lot to a wide range of contemporary cocktails. If you see the Van Gogh flavors behind the bar you know that the management of that establishment is properly tuned in. Van Gogh is made in small batches at Distillery Cooymans International in Tilburg, Holland by third generation master distiller Tim Vos. Van Gogh offers 16 expressions — 15 flavors and their flagship, un-flavored, triple wheat Van Gogh Vodka.

How to Enjoy

The Van Gogh Mango is ideal in any tropical inspired cocktail, working well as the star performer or as a supporting role in classics like the Piña Colada or the Mai Tai.
